I was reading the “celebrities everyone else but you finds attractive” thread and it made me curious if most people know someone who is at that general level of physical attractiveness. The people I know just look like regular people, some prettier, some uglier but nothing extraordinary. Of course, I’m sure a good number of celebrities would appear quite ordinary in person.
I know several beautiful women and a few really good looking men. My own husband is much better looking than many of the famous guys I hear women talking about. But it is possible that I’m a little biased. 
Gotta say my Demon, aka SO aka hubby-thingy
I can think of two women – Liz Taylor beautiful, both of them. Flawless complexions, shiny black naturally wavy hair, beautiful smiles, nice figures. Sweet natured too. One was actually (and aptly) named Delilah.
I knew one guy who was head-turning gorgeous – like Alan Ladd only taller, and one who could have been a stand-in for James Dean.
My nephew looks like a young George Clooney.
There’s this woman I know named Kim who’s absolutely gorgeous - blonde hair, the bluest eyes, great complexion, nice body. She is also extremely sweet and genuine, and a blast to be around (which makes her all the more attractive, to me).
I hadn’t been around her much but we had the occasion to spend a long day together not too long ago and I kept finding myself staring at her - not in a sexual way, as I am a hetero woman - because she is just so gosh darn beautiful.
What’s funny is she is married to this dude who’s short, has a funny lookin’ face, Robin-Williams-hairy and is about 20 years older than her. He’s not rolling in dough or anything. They have a very nice little house and a very nice teenage son and they are the oddest looking couple ever.
But she’s just a doll. A little kewpie doll!
A waitress that used to work at a restaurant that I frequent was Ava Gardner hot.
My husband. He has wavy brown hair and glorious eyes with long eyelashes. He’s very tall and has a nice ass. His only ugly body part are his feet. They look like dead fish. But from the ankles up he’s absolutely gorgeous.
My oldest brother is movie-star good looking, I mean really really really ridiculously good looking. We joke that he must be adopted since none of the rest of us are really all that attractive. It’s not fair in that he is the smartest person in our family as well. He won the gene lottery.
My kid. Everywhere I take him, women swoon. They all get faint and say stuff like “Where did you get to be so handsome” or “Where did you get those beautiful eyes?”.
And the part that kills me? HE LOOKS JUST LIKE FUCKING ME!! Hey! Why not a little love for Dad? Look up! Theres your answer! 
My wife stalks me here, so no matter what I say, I’m in trouble. Especially if its “Jane Miller”.
Is it at all creepy that I (as a hetero male) find this depressing?
What about “who is the best looking doper?”
I think the most beautiful girl I have ever known in person was a girl named Maribeth that I used to wait on when I was a teller. She was an absolute goddess. I wish I could link to her myspace page so you could all see her, but I don’t think that would be appropriate.
Hmm, either I’m a very fortunate person or my threshold for “extremely good looking” is lower than other people’s, because I know plenty of people of both genders who are absolutely gorgeous. Right off the top of my head, I can think of a couple dozen of my friends and acquaintances who are, IMO, “movie-star” attractive.
Not sure she’s the single best-looking person I know, but I do remember a few of us standing around a colleague’s desk one day when a woman from another department, who was new at the time, came over to tell us something. We all stood there smiling and nodding, and when she left, I asked “Does anyone remember anything she said?” and not one of us, all heterosexual women, could. We were all too blown away by how beautiful she was.
I dunno. I, as another hetero male, find it encouraging.
And there are tons of achingly beautiful women in my major. Unfortunately, most of them are either with someone, lesbian or graduating at the end of the semester and doing the Peace Corps. Alas…
Angelina Jolie is stunning. There are many more… she’s the first to come to mind.
A lot of people in my family are very good looking. My niece is stunningly gorgeous.
oh, Rebecca Rojmin is actually prettier than Angelina… in a different way.
If I could look like anyone, I’d say it would have to be Rebecca.
There’s a professor at my university who–while not quite in Johnny Depp’s league–is certainly handsome enough to be a soap opera actor. And he’s a fucking genius to boot. In addition to the above, he’s also a great guy who says hi to me every morning, asks me and the others at the desk how we’re doing by name, and seems to be genuinely interested in the answer. To top it all off, he laughs at my jokes, so really, I have to like the hell out of him.
Actually, now that I think about it, the only reason he’s not Johnny Depp is because he’s too mature and intelligent. He’s probably the first person after my wife I’d go to with a problem that I needed to talk out. A good guy all around.
Y’all have seen the Dove Evolution film, right? It’s at this site if you haven’t. Click on “film gallery” and choose “Evolution”. She’s not ugly when they start, by any means, but she looks more or less normal. If you saw her at the supermarket, you’d probably think she was out a little too late last night. After they’re done working their magic with makeup, hair and lighting, then they tweak the final picture digitally, making her neck longer, her shoulders thinner, her eyes larger and cleaning up her skin tone. Only then is she “pretty” enough to go on a billboard.
The best looking people you see aren’t people - they’re artistic creations.
The best looking guy I know did do some modeling, and his beauty is painful to look at - seriously, I get a tug in my stomach looking at him, and it’s nothing to do with emotional attraction. It’s the same way I feel looking at a beautiful sculpture or painting.
For women, it would be my 14 year old goddaughter, who was making grown men’s heads spin at 8, even before she got breasts. She’s stunningly gorgeous, which scares the hell out of me.
I work with a gal named Shirley, she is drop dead gorgeous. Blonde hair, great body and relatively smart. She has also been married 4 times and is talking about marrying again. I carpooled with her for a while back in the early 90’s for about a year, my wife was fine with it till she met Shirley. Shortly after that her then husband accused me of having affair with her even though she was 7 months pregnant.
